Cons
"Fortinet FortiGate Cloud could improve security. Some of my customers do not trust on-cloud solutions.""It would be better for us if Fortinet provided a private cloud, and they should provide more security on the public cloud. There are some minor issues with security with the public cloud. For example, anyone with a link can access the public cloud.""I would like to see a SIEM bundled together with this because customers are looking into better reporting and more proactive security solutions.""I would like to see Wi-Fi management inside the firewall.""Improving the platform's intuitiveness and consolidating functionalities, such as reporting and firewall features, could enhance user experience and reduce the need for multiple product purchases.""The only area that requires improvement is the login reports. We aim to integrate it with our local mobile service provider.""They're constantly doing maintenance and there are unexpected downtimes for the cloud interface.""The licensing is a little bit confusing and needs to be improved."

More Fortinet FortiGate Cloud Cons →

"Micro Focus Network Node Manager is not the best when it comes to drilling down for more visibility, especially regarding traffic.""The dashboards are not customizable and it's not user-friendly.""They should add AI options in the product's next release.""The solution should integrate with NAC servers.""Only to improve the GUI.""Right now, we have open tickets and they are not closing as expected.""The deployment architecture and installation part needs improvement.""Reporting. Even though this is available in separate software (iSPI) there is potential in making the reporting more SLA-aware and more intuitive."
